The Porch Light’s On—You’re Welcome Here
Real talk, rooted faith, and a space to simply be, right where the Lord has you planted.
Have you found yourself in life circumstances that make you wonder, is there more to life than this? Will it always feel so hard? Where is the wholeness and redemption here? Where do I fit in the bigger picture of it all?
Could this— home, church, work, or civic system, or even our own way of being—work better? Could it heal, even when it feels hopeless? What’s mine to change? And what’s to surrender?
You’re not alone in asking those questions.
Life is hard, yes. But I believe with honesty, community, and a bit of sacred slowness, attuned to the beauty around us, we can move forward with more grace and clarity than we thought possible.
​
This is a front-porch kind of space—where conversation is sacred, our local lives and impact matters, and faith grows in ordinary soil. Whether you’re showing up with questions, exhaustion, or expectation, there’s a place here for you.
Nice to Meet You
Welcome to my small corner of the world. I have been writing in some capacity for most of my life - from a creative story project I loved in 5th grade to the more lawyerly, less creative type in my early twenties, I am learning to find creativity again and mustering up courage to hit publish more often. We all navigate the world with our own unique perspectives, joys, and experiences, but I especially love finding things you and I share - is it a love for coffee? Maybe sitting outside on a beautiful day? Being with your pups? Learning new things? Reading a book? Enjoying your favorite sport or activity? Let's find something we can both spend hours talking about.
